Or getting shot/spelled in the face, or getting an unlucky roll. Awe is good when combined with say, high prot and mr. On its own, not so hot.

Curiosity had me trying the Death 5/Domnions 10 Virtue against independents. What happened?

She can't reliably solo indies before you give her some gear, which makes her less than optimal awake.

Virtue has flying. So you can select the provinces that you attack. Just avoid archer heavy provinces as well as lizards and woodsmen.
Also if you set her to research you should get to const-2 quite fast.
I've used that with a Lady of Springs (much worse for SCing than Virtue) and she did quite well with const-2 gear.

She is a bit more fragile than some other awake combatants, but that is really strange. Until I got the hang of using her (you do want to run numerous tests, she plays differently than say a PoD), she would die seemingly randomly until I got the hang of her.

And for reference, I mentioned that the D5 could be fun, but I usually use her as A4/S4 or A2/S4 with Dom10, and find her quite capable, even before being geared.

Roughly my experience of her effectiveness as well. I tend to just go Dom 10 and A4, which leaves 129 points to spend on scales.

From what I remember of my perusing the readme-file, the Virtue is A1S1 in CBM, though, so I guess that is what you are using.
